Elaine helped us buy our house back in 2017, and we kept in touch with her in the years since. We enlisted her expertise to sell our house this year, and she was incredibly helpful. She is very knowledgeable, trustworthy, practical and dedicated. We would gladly work with her again!

Elaine helped me buy my first home in Vancouver. She has been super helpful and patient with me. She was always available for viewings and was always easy to get a hold of. She walked me through all the steps involved without hesitation. Elaine's experience in the industry really helped me choose the right property. With all the bidding wars these days she was very experienced with negotiating and we were able to negotiate a really good deal. I highly recommend Elaine!

Elaine was the best choice we could have made for our agent. She was very quick to pick up on what we were looking for in a house, and was able to give us great recommendations on places in our desired locations. Elaine was there for us all throughout the day and evening, and fought for us at every step of the way. Her advice shows her deep knowledge in real estate and it's very easy to see this is her PASSION. Elaine truly goes above and beyond when it comes to being a truthful, reliable, and knowledgeable realtor. We are very happy with our new home and will be recommending Elaine to all of our family and friends in the area!

Elaine is a consummate professional: patient, responsive, ethical, excellent communicator. She spoke honestly about my home needs and steered me in the right direction to my current forever-home. We worked as a team to win out by a narrow margin in the competitive Vancouver market, and I could not be prouder to have her by my side. Will retain her services if I decide to sell one day!

We can't speak highly enough of our experience with Elaine Kay. We were first-time homebuyers with very little knowledge about how to find the right place and feel so fortunate to have found Elaine. She was extremely professional while also being very warm and personable. As our Realtor, she helped us find the right house in the right neighborhood within our price range. We viewed several properties before making our decision and throughout the whole process we never felt any pressure and felt that she was genuinely invested in finding the right home for us. Elaine helped us navigate what could have been a very stressful purchase and made the whole experience a positive memory. I would highly recommend Elaine to anyone buying a home in Vancouver!

We met Elaine through a recommendation to help us find property in Vancouver coming from Toronto. Elaine was able to help us understand the nuances between the two markets, worked to understand our wish list and what we were hoping for in a home, and helped us to find our home in the context of COVID and a very short timeline. She went above and beyond to ensure that our house hunting trip was successful while providing thoughtful, expert advice. Her passion for her job is evident in all that she does and her focus truly is taking care of her client. Would highly recommend and will return to her for our next real estate needs!

Elaine was happily recommend to me by a couple for whom she had sold their condo. I found Elaine to be very professional At our first meeting she arrived prepared with price comparisons for the area, well versed in the local market and with a well thought out marketing strategy. She put my condo on the market and within a week it was sold, subjects removed and at a price above asking. Through out the process Elaine communicated what she felt was needed with regard to staging, and what steps would be taken; photos, listings, showings, offers and subject removals. Elaine responded to all questions efficiently and effectively. I am looking forward to Elaine’s assistance and guidance as I purchase my next home

I was a first time home buyer when I first met Elaine. Right from the start, she made me feel comfortable with the entire process. For making such a huge decision on my own I was very intimidated in the very beginning, but Elaine's professionalism, helpfulness, responsiveness and just overall genuine kindness made things pleasant and clear. She truly cares for people and you know she has your best interest in mind. When I was feeling overwhelmed, she took the time to go over everything until all was clear. I highly recommend Elaine and look forward to working with her again when it's time for my next home!

Elaine is absolutely fantastic! I was looking for a near impossible find. I searched for a year and had no success, so I contacted Elaine. Within a couple months she showed me a few locations and I found exactly what I was looking for. I am so happy! My move in date is in coming soon. I highly recommend her! She's kind, caring, goes the extra mile for her clients, and genuinely wants to help you find that perfect place. I can't thank her enough and will be working with her for all my future places. Thank you soo much Elaine!

Elaine was wonderful and helped with all aspects of the sale of our place. She got us going with good advice about what would make our place look its best, gave us numbers of people to call, and adapted to our needs when our place was on the market. She handled unexpected events with professionalism and grace which enabled us to deal with a few challenges that came up along the way. Thanks Elaine!

My husband and I were buying a home in Vancouver, while living in Toronto. We were worried about having to fly back and forth for viewings etc., but after a few long calls with Elaine we realized could trust her to really represent our interests in viewings, and decided to use FaceTime (essentially buying the home site-unseen). I never thought I would even consider this before meeting Elaine, but she has excellent attention to detail, and knew exactly what we were looking for. She warned us against properties that seemed good, but might have disappointed us later, and made sure we had our eyes open with our purchase. We were so fortunate to have Elaine recommended to us as a realtor for buying our home in Vancouver - I cannot recommend her highly enough.

I want to say Elaine was incredibly GREAT to work with on helping my wife and I look for a new condo. Elaine was VERY hard working, VERY attentive to our concerns , and she gave us GREAT advice on all the properties we looked at. Ultimately with Elaine’s expertise and hard work we were able to quickly narrow down our search and complete our new purchase in a timely manner! Elaine also went well above our expectations in orchestrating all the necessary people to complete our condo purchase, and because of her help we now own a great place to call home! Many thanks Elaine!

Elaine helped me immensely find my first property in the Vancouver area. It certainly was a challenging task coming from far away, and being unfamiliar with this market. But Elaine made it so much easier. She was absolutely hyper prepared the entire time, had great insight, and had great attitude. Elaine was able to discern my needs even before I voiced them. She’s a real pro.

Context. I rarely agree to write reviews. I have to really really like something to even consider it. And if I have a negative experience with a company,, I deal with them directly and not in a public forum. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Elaine Kay sold my condo in April of this year (2018). I engaged her because she had recently sold another unit in my building at a record price. With the market's recent volatility, I was interested in a realtor adept at working in the context of the current market. Elaine makes such a great first impression. * professional, she came to our first meeting completely prepared with market analysis, sales comparables and a prospectus for my unit, having done her homework about the neighbourhood and my unit, in advance * client-focused, Elaine quickly grasped the unique nature of my situation and put me in contact with professionals from her wide network of contacts As a real estate agent, Elaine was tireless in her efforts to sell my home * attention to detail - for the promotional photography, she closely monitored the weather for the best conditions, for example * drive - Elaine's commitment to selling the apartment was unwavering and she drove that in the client, too when it came to getting the unit 'show ready' * instinctive - when it came to negotiating the sale, Elaine was extremely able, providing valuable information and advice I don't buy and sell a lot of properties, but it strikes me that a realtor needs to be a lot of things - business agent, strategic partner, confidant and sometimes counsellor, depending on the circumstances. Elaine was a wonderful professional partner during the sale of my unit. The results speak for themselves - the unit sold for the newest record price in my complex. If you're looking for a realtor, I would definitely recommend Elaine. Michele

I have bought and sold couple of properties through Elaine and she has been outstanding every single time. She is professional, diligent, and a great negotiator. She pays particular attention to details that most buyers and sellers miss. Highly recommend. 👍🏻

We worked with Elaine to purchase our first home. Elaine was very organized and professional, and she patiently educated and guided us through the entire process. Because Elaine represented our interests in such a professional manner, and because she helped us put together our strongest offer, we landed our condo and beat another offer of a higher dollar amount. We wouldn't have our first home without Elaine's work.

Elaine is amazing at her job! I worked with Elaine to sell my condo in Vancouver. She worked efficiently, and had very high standards at every stage of the process. From initial conversations to closing, she had a clear vision and strategy . All of her work and experience left me assured that I was getting the best possible price for my property. Elaine is the best, and I wouldn't want anybody else to represent me in the future.

Our realtor in Toronto introduced us to Elaine. We found her very personable, professional, efficient and she is always on top of things. We really appreciate her input and guidance in helping us to sell and get the best deal for our condo. In addition, she also brought in quality professionals to take photos and to create an accurate floor plan for our unit. We firmly believed that all her effort and her devotion to her job are key factors to how quick we sold. Elaine is truly a cut above many Realtors out there. She takes pride in her work and we have absolutely no reservations recommending her to anyone looking for an excellent realtor to work with.
